That any Democrat should even think about voting for Bolton is unbelievable, but 4!!!

After all that has come out on Bolton this is very very sad. If the Democrats can't agree on this they will never be able to agree on anything.
Bolton's prospects for confirmation appear strong at this time, with at least four Democrats saying they might support him and only one Republican saying he'll vote against.
Here are the details:
``Senator Lieberman remains undecided about Mr. Bolton's nomination,'' said spokesman Matt Gobush. ``As a general rule, he believes the president should have the latitude to choose his own Cabinet, except in the most extraordinary cases. The senator is studying the issues raised by the committee to determine whether this is one of those cases.''
Lieberman voted for Bolton at his previous confirmation hearing in 2001.
Pryor, Landrieu, Nelson
Spokesmen for Pryor and Landrieu said the senators had not decided. Nelson ``is undecided,'' but is ``leaning in favor of the nomination,'' said spokesman David DiMartino.
Democratic opponents of Bolton hoped to persuade Republicans such as Maine Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins to join Voinovich in opposition to Bolton.
Snowe ``hasn't expressed any reservations or said she would vote no'' on Bolton, spokesman Preston Hartman said. ``She has said nothing bad about John Bolton.''
Collins plans to vote in favor of Bolton, spokeswoman Elissa Davison said.
Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska plans to support Bolton on the floor, spokesman Mike Buttry said. So does Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, according to spokesman Steve Hourahan. Both senators were early Republican critics of Bolton on the foreign relations panel.
